  1. I do all mine manually to get exactly what I want.
  2. If you would like it. It is best to put it to CA, each and everyone separately. there was a discussion about this recently.
  3. Good luck with the learning curve, I recently went from X10 to X12 and found that a huge step.
  4. I am probably in a slightly different boat as virtually all of the brand specific library items are no use to me. So I mainly use my user library, then if I gave to go find something specific I also place a copy in my user library for future use. For details I have 1 or 2 details per plan in carefully set up folders where I make use of the thumbnail feature.
  5. Plan revisions is the way I have always gone. It gives you the history, a place to go back to if you have a disaster, or the client changes their mind back to plan 1. Just had that happen this week, did a major redesign then got a call "we want to go back to the original brief". It just cost them the extra redesign time, as all I did was open the last original design did a save as and kept working from where I was.
  6. You do have the snaps on?? they haven't inadvertently been turned off ?

    X12

    YES !! you can open files back to about X2
  8. Joey I think the OP may be talking about a post not a deck pile. the auto frame deck pile footings show up on level 0, but now place a post and footing manually. BOTH the post and the footing show on level 1.
  9. Great we have established it happens regularly on the mac platform. therefore the 'bug' as that is what it is needs to be lodged in the bug reporting app on the website with all the relevant info. then it can at least be investigated properly. And Maybe fixed at some time.
  10. Is this a Mac thing? I dont ever recall seeing the problem in 20 years. You have done all the things I would have done to get them back.
  11. I dont see this problem use ff82.0 exclusively
  12. I recently had to manually model a set using slabs, took no time at all.
  13. I would make changes with consecutive numbers in the triangle. the highest number would be my drawing revision. But if I am answering all of the building dept questions at the same time this would all be one number and my revision schedule would reflect this. my revisions do not differentiate who initiated them. just r1 , r2 etc.
  14. Post your file for others to try. That will either find the problem or eliminate CA so you will know it is a local problem. I have no problem printing when I send the correct information.
  15. I thought the whole purpose of the changes was to make it compatible with fruit machines
  16. why not just adjust the baseline height, you know top of plate you should know the vertical depth of framing (tells you in the db) Add whatever extra heel height reqd. Then when you draw a truss it will extend the bottom chord to form the soffit on top of the plate. Or am I imagining something else. we only use trusses here. no pitching of roofs except when using rafters.
  17. Dont see a problem here. foundation plans comes in sweet using all your settings.
  18. I did the x10 to x12 upgrade it had to be done manually but was pretty quick , but not a weekend.
  19. It may also way out in Z direction also. Can be tricky to find sometimes.
  20. Have you tried using a pdf printer driver and not the CA print to PDF driver printing each page 1 at a time(which is a PITA). I have had pdf print problems in the past and they have always been a compatibility issue between programs. It seem different programs treat PDF's slightly different. We are fortunate that we have to supply all pages as 1 pdf, it can get pretty large for emailing though. I did a little research on the project Dox program which appears to be a translator type program so yet another conversion ? of the pdf. Best of luck sorting it.
  21. what type of camera are you using, I couldn't see a camera set up.
